I understand it’s on the basis of “don’t ask, don’t tell” for Khmer, Burmese, Lao and other nationals whose Immigration status is informal. As for expats my attitude is “don’t know, don’t care”

Gotta start somewhere.
Sooner would have been better.

Pfizer has a slight backlog at the moment, so wouldn't expect those vaccines to be showing up anytime before summer of 2022.

They should reshuffle their priorities...

Since 5~10 million doses is inadequate, they need to look elsewhere for serious volume.
Searching for that volume, here's an extract from "The Nation" earlier in the year.
"Separately, Dr Songpon Deechongkit, managing director of Siam Bioscience, said the company received knowledge and technology from AstraZeneca in October last year. Since then Siam Bioscience has been making preparations and should be able to produce some 200 million doses yearly or about 15 million to 20 million doses per month".

Now if there's any truth in that statement, that's the kind of volume that's needed for a mass vaccination programme,
Here's a more recent article on the topic: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...e-jabs-on-time
They talk of delivery in July. Of course, as with most other countries, all the important detail like how many doses are due to be delivered each week is not disclosed.
